It was only discovered in 1981, by Frieda Billiet, in the Brazilian rainforest, and since then has become established as a rare favourite both indoors and out. The leaves themselves can grow up to three feet long, so if you give this plant the best conditions it will really show you that it's thriving! Between its stunning, glossy green leaves and eyecatching bright red stems, the Philodendron billietiae will steal the show in any corner of your home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePlace in moderate to bright indirect light.
